I replaced the defrost control board 61005988 and when I unplugged the old one the compressor cut off. I plugged in the new one and the compressor did not start back up. The unit has not come back on in three hours now. What could have unplugging the board have to do with this?

OOPZ never mind Shoulda looked at what you had before jumping the gun.

Recheck everything as you no you had to drop down panel in refrigerator and may have left something unplug .What was the reason to replace board?Make sure new board is plug in right.You do not have to reprogram that board as stated.

I replaced the defrost control board 61005988 and when I unplugged the old one the compressor cut off. Maybe I'm wrong, but did you have the power on when you unplugged the board? You should have unplugged the refrigerator to change the board. Still, New board should have worked when you plugged it in even if you still had power on. I also had a bad one of these same boards about 6 months ago out of box, Get a new one but if you had unit plugged in, unplug first before installing board.
